Volume slider not working

Question

Every once in a while, my sound stops working. So, I did what I normally do and reinstalled alsa-base, pulseaudio, and libasound2 then restarted. After reboot, the sound worked again, but the volume slider has no effect on master volume, which I can change through alsamixer. How could I fix this? Thanks.

Try disabling PulseAudio. It has been my experience that PulseAudio causes a host of audio issues on Ubuntu. — hal7df, Oct 30 '14 at 01:23

Go to pulseaudio --> output devices --> click on the lock. Worked for me. When hovering over the lock, it says lock channels together.

I can't find any "pulseaudio -> output devices -> et cetera". Please be more specific. – Regis May May 29 '18 at 17:50
